Thanks for the response, I understand, and I have been a supporter of Konami for years. But just how "awestruck and amazed" are we supposed to be when it comes to a game that in many ways looks, feels and plays like it was coded in 2000? Plus they jacked up the price 30 bucks this year for all this wondrous awesomeness.
I gave Konami the benefit of the doubt with last year's half great, half-broken effort. This year they've "fixed" the game's ongoing lack of responsiveness by coding in skating players and hovercraft-like ball physics. And at least two of the coding issues from last year - same CPU goals over and over, no CPU shots travelling above 3 feet in the air - appear to be broken again this year.
There's happy appreciation, and there's also intelligent discernment.
